Not that I'm suggesting any of you guys would do this, but having been a
judge at the Nationals, I've seen a few people who want to argue every
point you give or take in judging. If you've tried it, you soon realize
that while the score sheets attempt to make a science out of judging,
it's still an art and it's not worth the effort if you take it to the
levels mentioned above.  Probably the folks at NWBRU figure it avoids
hassels by not releasing the sheets.
